Sorak - Goan Special

Goan , a seashore land situated in the West coast of India.Goa have a strong influence of both Portuguese and Indian culture together, this is very much reflected in their cuisine.The cuisine of Goa can be divided into two cuisine, one is the Goan Hindu cuisine which goes for lentils,vegetables etc, onion and garlic are not used much in this cuisine,also they use less spices and very little oil,while the other one is Goan Catholic cuisine very much influenced by the Portuguese culture though this cuisine is a combination of Konkani,South Indian, Portuguese, British and Saraswat cuisines.Obviously the food culture of Goa is a happy union of both East and west India. Since Goa is blessed abundantly with coconut tress, they cook their food mostly with coconut thus the extensive use of coconut in their cuisine. Coconut oil and coconut mlk is very much used in their cuisine specially for making their non vegetarian dishes.

For my today's post for Goa, i chosed to cook this simple and fingerlicking curry from Goan Catholic cuisine which is cooked quite often during the monsoon season in Goa. This dish is quite easy to prepare but its tastes simply awesome when served along with rice or Goan famous Sannas, steamed cooked rice cakes. I cooked this Sorak from here, and we loved it with rice.If you want to make some spicy simple curry, just give a try to this bright, eye pleasing Sorak curry from Goan cuisine.
